Alcohol level Detection system for Drivers Security using IOT

Abstract

Drinking and Driving has become a huge cause of road accidents in today‟s world. It is found out that more than 60% of road accidents are caused due to drunk driving. Drinking and driving not only affects the person who is drunk but also the ones sitting in the same vehicle or the people and vehicles on road. Therefore, immediate attention should be given to this increasing threat. The aim of our project is to design a system that takes care of this problem, a system that senses the alcohol in one‟s breath and preventive measures are taken with the help of internet of things. Even though there are enough laws to penalize such drivers but they can‟t be implemented on a large scale because cops cannot stand on every road to keep looking for drunk drivers. This is probably a colossal reason for accidents. Hence, there is an immediate need for an adequate system that can check drunk drivers and avoid further threats. Deaths due to drunk-driving are increasing day by day on a large scale which brings us to a question as to how can we minimize these myriad number of cases? The proposed system is a very good method to curb drunk people. The system will basically comprise of a breath analyzing sensor, MQ-3, which will sense the level of alcohol in your breath. In India, the quality legal limit of alcohol in blood is 0.03%, that means 30 microliters of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood [10]. If the alcohol content is above this threshold then the engine will not start and the person will not be able to drive. A mail will also be supposedly sent to a friend or a relative using a Raspberry Pi, mentioning the exact location, using a GPS. Thus, by implementing such system, we can reduce alcohol related road mishaps. Hence, these kinds of detectors have a great significance. This project can help prevent life and property loss because of drunk reckless driving
